Racially charged sign found in front of Manchester middle school

School officials believe sign is part of 'White GeNocide Project' campaign

Manchester's school superintendent is alerting parents after a racially-charged sign showed up outside a middle school.

In a letter sent home to parents, Superintendent Bolden Vargas said a sign reading “diversity is a code word for genocide” was found Tuesday morning outside on a fence in front of the Middle School at Parkside.

School officials said the sign was taken down immediately.

Vargas said he believes the sign is part of a much bigger campaign, and police are investigating.

“There's no question that it's deplorable. It's not something that's accepted in the city of Manchester,” said Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas.

Gatsas reassured refugees, minorities and foreigners in the Queen City that they are welcome.

“We're a very diverse community and we're very accepting of people, and I can tell you that I know there's an investigation going on and I've talked to Chief Willard about it and we're going to find out who's behind this because it's just not acceptable,” Gatsas said.

School officials told parents they believe the sign is part of what's known as the “White GeNocide Project.”

On the group’s website, they describe themselves as a group who believes "diversity is nothing more than a coordinated campaign of genocide against white people."

"People are afraid for themselves and for their children,” said Eva Castillo, director for the New Hampshire Alliance of Immigrants and Refugees. “People get scared and they fear for their safety."

She said now is the perfect opportunity to come together as a community and bridge the divide.

"We're not going to stand by quietly. We need to speak up and we need to start calling it what it is: Totally unacceptable,” Castillo said.

School officials asked Manchester parents to report anything they may have seen or heard about this issue to their child's school principal.
